Check DC Gain and Voltage Measurement Accuracy
Performance of this procedure requires input voltages up to
130 VDC. Be sure to set the DC calibration generator to 0 volts
before connecting, disconnecting, and/or moving the test hookup
during the performance of this procedure.
Equipment Required:
Two dual-banana connectors (Item 5), one BNC T
connector (Item 6), one DC calibration generator (Item 8), and two precision
coaxial cables (Item 4).
Prerequisites:
The oscilloscope must meet the prerequisites listed on
page 1-15.
